Abstract

On 1 January 2020, the Council of Europe Convention on counterfeiting of medicinal products and similar crimes involving threats to public health came into force in Croatia. The Convention was signed on 3 September 2015 and ratified by the Croatian Government on 20 September 2019. Veterinary medicinal products are also covered by this Convention. Although Croatia has long been battling counterfeit medicinal products and participates actively in Interpol campaigns, the ratification of this Convention enables more efficient supervision of counterfeit products for use in medicine and veterinary medicine and leads to better international collaboration.
